Street lamp for providing safe driving information and system for providing safe driving information using street lamp

1. A street lamp for providing safe driving information, the street lamp comprising: a main illumination unit that illuminates a road; a vehicle reception unit that receives an accident occurrence signal or a malfunction occurrence signal of a disabled vehicle; a control unit that generates an accident recognition signal or a malfunction recognition signal depending on whether the accident occurrence signal is received or the malfunction occurrence signal is received, the accident recognition signal and the malfunction recognition signal being generated to be distinguishable from each other; a vehicle transmission unit that selectively transmits the accident recognition signal or the malfunction recognition signal to vehicles positioned ahead of or behind an accident spot or a malfunction spot; a street lamp transmission that selectively transmits the accident recognition signal or the malfunction recognition signal to neighboring street lamps ahead and behind with respect a vehicle running direction; and a street lamp reception unit that receives the accident recognition signal or the malfunction recognition signal from the neighboring street lamps ahead and behind with respect a vehicle running direction, wherein the accident recognition signal or the malfunction recognition signal received through the street lamp reception unit is selectively transmitted to the neighboring street lamps ahead and behind with respect to the running direction of the vehicle through the street lamp transmission unit after subtracting 1 from a value of the accident recognition signal or the malfunction recognition signal.

2. The street lamp of claim 1 , further comprising: an illumination control unit that outputs different driving signals depending on whether the accident occurrence signal is received or the malfunction occurrence signal is received; and a warning lamp that emits light of a color corresponding with a driving signal output from the illumination control unit.

3. The street lamp of claim 1 , wherein, when an emergency bell provided at a lower side of a street lamp post is pushed, the control unit transmits the accident recognition signal or the malfunction recognition signal through the vehicle transmission unit and the street lamp transmission unit.

4. The street lamp of claim 3 , further comprising: a control center communication unit that communicates with a traffic regulating center server to receive an audio signal and an emergency signal; and an audio transmission unit that transmits the audio signal to the vehicles, wherein according to the emergency signal, the warning lamp is caused to blink on and off with a color which is different from a color at the time of receiving the accident occurrence signal or the malfunction occurrence signal.

5. The street lamp of claim 1 , further comprising: a broadcast reception unit that receives an Internet broadcast or a radio frequency; and a broadcast transmission unit that transmits the broadcast signal received through the broadcast reception unit to the vehicles to inform drivers of a traffic situation of the road where the vehicles currently run.

6. A system for providing safe driving information using a street lamp, the system comprising: the street lamp for providing safe driving information; and a vehicle equipment part, wherein the vehicle equipment part comprises: an accident sensing unit provided in a vehicle to sense accident occurrence; an wireless transmission unit that, when the accident occurrence is sensed by the accident sensing unit, transmits an accident occurrence signal to the vehicle reception unit of the street lamp; an wireless reception unit that receives an accident recognition signal transmitted through the vehicle transmission unit of the street lamp; an alarm unit that, when the wireless reception unit receives the accident recognition signal, notifies a driver of the accident occurrence; and an emergency button to be capable of being selected by a driver when a vehicle has malfunction, and wherein, when the emergency button is pushed, a malfunction occurrence signal is transmitted to the vehicle reception unit of the street lamp for providing safe driving information through the wireless transmission unit.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the vehicle equipment part further comprises: an audio reception unit that notifies the traffic information of the corresponding road transmitted through the audio transmission unit of the street lamp for providing safe driving information; and a speaker that reproduces the traffic information received through the audio reception unit.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the vehicle equipment part further comprises: a cancel button that is capable of cancelling the accident occurrence signal or the malfunction occurrence signal after receiving, through the audio reception unit, the confirmation audio signal received by the control unit.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the vehicle equipment part further comprises: an accident confirmation unit that outputs an audio signal to confirm whether the accident has occurred through the speaker when the signal sensed by the accident sensing unit is lower than a reference signal, senses whether the cancel button is pushed, and cancels the accident occurrence signal when the cancel button is selected.

10. A street lamp for providing safe driving information, the street lamp comprising: a main illumination unit that illuminates a road; a vehicle reception unit that receives an accident occurrence signal or a malfunction occurrence signal of a disabled vehicle; a control unit that generates an accident recognition signal or a malfunction recognition signal depending on whether the accident occurrence signal is received or the malfunction occurrence signal is received, the accident recognition signal and the malfunction recognition signal being generated to be distinguishable from each other, wherein the control unit transmits a confirmation audio signal that confirms whether the received accident signal or malfunction signal is true or false though the audio transmission unit, and when a cancel signal is received within a predetermined length of time after transmitting the confirmation audio signal, the control unit nullifies the received accident signal or malfunction signal; and a vehicle transmission unit that selectively transmits the accident recognition signal or the malfunction recognition signal to vehicles positioned ahead of or behind an accident spot or a malfunction spot.

11. The street lamp of claim 10 , wherein the accident signal or the malfunction signal is nullified before or after transmitting the accident recognition signal or the malfunction recognition signal. This change was needed for a “requirement” by the PTO that a claim cannot depend from a subsequent claim.
